[thelist] Brain fart html w/asp (revisited)

[snip]
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
sub saveArticle()
	dim stuff, stuff_1, stuff_2
	'rest is commented out
end sub
%>
...

<form>
   <input type="button" name="Save" value="Save and Exit"
onClick="saveArticle()">
</form

When I try to click on the button in the web browser, IE5(? matters not)
throws an error:
"Object expected"
[/snip]

Since ASP is processed server-side you cannot call an ASP function from an
onclick event. You would have to have your form action set to foo.asp (where
saveArticle() is), and pass variables to foo.asp for the function.

HTH!
